MEDICAL VALUE OF WINES. As a
general rule the use, of wine is not
necessary for young persons in good
health, breathing country air and not
exposed to over work. As, however,
life advances and the circulation be-
comes languid, natural red wine used
in moderation. becomes an essential
article and in many cases absolutely
necessary, but it must be the pure pro-
duct of the grapes. And even in the
Eastern States the physician meets
large numbers of town people, especially
women, who cannot digest the food and
drinks suited to outdoor laboring peo-
pie, In such cases they resort TO the
beverage of tea which gives rise to
distressing dyspepsia. The wines pro-
duced in New Jersey, especially the
Burgundy and the Port Grape Wines
from Alfred Speer's Vineyards, at
Passaic, are the more reliable and the
most sought after by physicians and
those who have travelled abroad and
know what wines are.

alite Claret and your Port Wine in my

BUFFALO BILL ABROAD!
A Little Love Anair-What the Cow
boys Think of IL.

The success OF "our own" Buffalo
Bill-W. f.. Cody-in England Is very
gratifying to his thousands of admirers
on this side.
There was more truth than many i'm
agined in his reply to the inquiry:
"What are you doing in England 7"
Chiefly playing poker with the
Duchesses.
The English nobility quickly "cot-
toned too" Buffalo Bill because they
recognized that he belonged 20 higher
order than their own-Nature's nobi'i-
ty. Despite his wild life he early man
aged to acquire an education and the
polish which makes him easy even in
royal society.
His polish Is the bitter fruit, 1t is
said, of a young lcve experience. When
young man on the plains wild, woolly
and unkempt in appearance and char.
acter, he fell IN love with dashing lit
tie school teacher. Full Of pluck and
faith in himself, he proposed to her.
She laughed at him and he-colapsed.
After time he braced up, bought
some books, and began to study.
His defeat proved his victory. The
girl was his mascot, and his successes
are due to her.
Magnificent specimens of manhood
though they may be "Bill's boys" are
not perfection. Under date: Buffalo
Bill's Wild West Co., London, Sep. 10.
1887" d. w. Shoemaker of the Cow
boy Band, writes "Some weeks ago
was suffering from great disorder of the
liver and kidneys and general prostra-
tion. l was forced to quit work and
take my bed. l called in a physician,
who only afforded temporary relief. A
friend induced me TO take Warmers
safe cure which afforded almost instant
relief. and after taking three bottles, II
find myself in as good health as at any
time in my life."
Two other members of the WildWest
show, Nave Beardsley, pony express
rider, and Jim Mitchell, cowboy, add
to. this statement of Shoemaker's, that
in their long experience on the plains,
from change of water, climate, and
mode of life, and severe riding. they be-
came subject to liver and kidney dis
eases, and they have found sure rem
edy for these troubles in Warmers safe
cure. Nave Beardsley says II con-
stantly recommend it to my friends"
Buffalo Bill has pluck and courage
and hard sense, and not only controls
all the wild elements that make up the
Wild West show, but controls himself.
His experience as scout makes him
wary, discreet and shrewd. He quick
ly learns the best way to secure results,
and, like true man, has no prejudices
against anything that proves its merits.
Buffalo Bill is so popular in England
he may come home "Sir William"
But if not he will probably enjoy him.

tune ample enough for all his wants,

money in my hand and told me TO re-
turn. learned afterward that one OF
these three men who came up on the
river bank was priest but / meyer
found out who the others were, and
neither did l ascertain the name Of the
priest. Before | had reached the pla co
in the slough where l moored my
canoe l heard tie noise of river
steamer coming down from st. Paul.
She halted below the island In the md
die of the stream, for l distinctly
heard the engines reverse and knew
that JEFF Dayis and his bride were a
bout to pass down the Mississippi to
the South. The next day, watched
closely for glimpse of Col. Taylor
but ;he old soldier was too circumSpect
in his actions to bstruy any anxiety. l
was Informed that Davis took the
young woman from an upper story
window in the log cabin, an d
with the assistance of the chaplain was
enabled to get her beyond the picket
lines unohServed. There WAS no doubt
that the chaplain was on the other side
of the river to witness the marriage,
and hat he conveyed to Col
Taylor the news Of the elopement."
II was away from Fort Crawford
for some time after this episode, and
heard no more about it. 1t is however
matter of history that Col. Taylor
was never wholly reconciled to the
marriage. 1t Is stated that after the
battle of Buena Vista Taylor visited
JEFF Davis as lie lay wounded III his
tent, and eXteAdad his hand TO him al
though there was no further recon,
ciliation. Davis had undoubtedly Won
the battle with the Mississippi Rifles,
and Taylor could not fail to recognize
such gallantry. Time aud time again

THE COMING CAT.
Pussy to Take Her Rightful Place by
N Fashionable Freak.

Fashion has long been favorable TO
dogs. Cats are now coming forward.
some charming bellies at Luchon
| thought this season of using the Pyre-
mean cat-Thich is pretty creature,
and not so wild as it looks-ds surveZ-
moi, jeune homme. The notion sprang
up in this way: a beauty down there
was given, in one of her excursions, a
en- with mountain flowers, how carry
/ 1t \ peasant suggested cutting n
| hole at one of the ends of a hand-basket
+ for needle-work, just large enough for
the eats neck TO be held in without
strangulation when the lid was fastened
on. As the basket was padded aud
lined with satin, and bediZened with
fringe and ribbons, pussy did not OBJ
ject TO being prisoner therein, and to
being placed on the lady's bnstle as a
pack. There was no other means Of
carrying the feline unless there. So the
basket was fitted up with string 10
tie on TO the waste, and so borne into
Luchon. The arrangement was Daring,
original and piquant. 1t found imita-
tors, and in few days there were not
PyTenean cats enough for the ladies'
buStles. Fashion even dared to invade
the sanctuary at Lourdes with noun
tain tom or tabby on the dorsal hump.
\ fashion prophet tells me that next
winter the back part of the muff Will
contain pouch in which cat is 30 lie.
\ contrivance of this sort was hit upon
by Mile. SchDeider for her black and
tan terrier, which regarded the inside
Of the muff as a prison and wanted TO
look abOnt when keeping the hands of
its mistress warm. The Duchesse dc
Bauffremont then took mp the arrange
ment and used to carry about as many
puppies as she could fit into the pouch.
Princesse Isabeau de Beauvals Craon
used TO remind me OF maternal kan-
garoo. Her muff had the pocket III
front and parcel Of pups heads of var
lous breeds peeped from out the open
ing at the top.
The cat is not a pet for the ALE des
Acacias, because it won't suffer itself
to he led and would not IN a crowd fol-
low its mistress OF answer to her call.
Although fond of luxury and matching
with reinements of The most elegant
bondour, there is no more independent
creature in existence. 1t won't suffer
itself to be treated with rough familiar
lty, tO be muZziod or constrained in any
way. Though 1t enjoys being rubbed
gently with the grain of its fur, it does
not think itself honored by the atten.
tion Of any human being. 1t is car
pet animal and fond of silken cloth,
when not pursuing mice and such small
game, or engaged IN housetop adven-
lures. Indeed the cat is most in its
place In soft and beautiful surround
ings, and reyels IN plush upholstery
which, by the bye, i5 going out. One
does not tremble if i. walks on table
laden with precious knick-knacks. 1t
steps so gingerly, and is so much the
master of it's movements, that china,
you may be sure, will neyerfall where the
dOmestlcated feline passes. Whatever
possesses servants to say "the cat did
it," when they themselves break glass
and delf, | can't make out.
